Opening young hearts and minds to experience the magic of the creative process and see a new world of possibilities for themselves and all that they touch.

MISSION

ArtsBusXpress' mission is to ensure city and county school teachers have transportation to take students on cultural field trips to arts, science, and technology within the greater San Diego area during their K-12 school experience.

WHY

Cultural learning experiences by children exposed to the arts and sciences contribute to the development of academic skills, including the areas of reading, mathematics and language, and the development of certain thinking, social and motivational skills that are considered basic for success in school, life and work.

VALUES

We champion the importance of arts, sciences, and cultural education.

We are committed to generating positive partnerships between the arts, academia, and the philanthropic community.

We adhere to high ethical and professional standards in our work and partnerships.

We promote partnering with cultural venues to leverage knowledge and exposure to improve the access of cultural experiences to K-12 students within the greater San Diego area.

Welcome to ArtsBusXpress

ArtsBusXpress underwrites field trip transportation, the "missing link," that connects San Diego city and county school children with arts and sciences experiences. The program serves 498,000 children in 42 school districts and 646 schools in San Diego County. Every donation aids in sending students to a culturally enriching experience as an extension of their school education. We need your help to ensure that San Diego's school children continue the academic process our program encourages.

Over 174 arts organizations provide free or discounted entry to their venues. Teachers are required to include culturally-relevant fieldtrips as part of the school experience. School buses sit idle on school parking lots between 9 am and 2 pm. ArtsBusXpress provides that needed funding through bus grants to teachers. Each donation aids in sending students on "A Ride to the Arts and Sciences!"
